REPORT OF BOARD OF FIRE COMMITS.
| SIoNERS.
! Addition to Engine House, Etc
The Board of Fire Commissioners
have had under special consideration
| the following matters: The building
| of an addition to engine house at the
| corner of Edmund and Marion streets
| to be used for a store room for
| winter apparatus in summer and
summer apparatus in winter, and
| for a repair and paint shop. We
| have apparatus that need repair and
| painting at this time, but cannot find
| place in the city where they can do it
| for us OH account of the room necessary.
Had the department such repair shop as
| we now recommend built, the members
| of the department could do all the re-
| pairs and painting, thereby saving con-
| siderable expense to the city. The eSIi-
| mated cost of the addition asked for
| will be about $500 (briek and mason
| work.. The carpenter work can be
done by members of the depart
| ment without any extra cost to the
| city, except for material We
| believe this improvement would result
| in measure of economy and we re-
| spectfully ask for authority to carry it
| out.
| We are also of the opinion and would
| recommend that the manner of heating
| the engine houses be changed, particu-
! larly in the case of central fire hall,
which being a very large building is eX-
| pensive to heat by the present system
| (StoveS and furnace); we most respect
| fully ask for authority to substitute in
the central fire hall, corner of Eighth
and Minnesota streets. a steam heating
apparatus, the estimated cost of which
will be about two thousand dollars g.
600. Respectfully submitted By order
